This bag is really frickin\' adorable. I got the multicolor version, and I love it. It\'s cheerful and sturdy, and has pockets just the right size for my planner, cell phone, and ipod. There are only two drawbacks:\r\n1. If you fill it too full, the magnetic closure just doesn\'t hold it closed. So it\'s not good if you need a bag that stays tightly shut.\r\n2. The opening is JUST small enough that it doesn\'t fit my 15" macbook pro. For me, that\'s ok, since it perfectly fits my college-ruled standard notebooks, but if you are hoping to use this as a computer bag, you\'ll need to have a computer at least an inch smaller than the macbook.\r\nThat said, it\'s a great bag and a good buy.

Ah, no more burned rice. It's easy after understanding the guide book. I've never met a guide book that did not seem overly complex. I just wanted rice and it's just 4 cups brown rice, water up to the line (about 5 cups), close top, press button. The rice comes out just fine. I do wonder if the plastic vegetable tray offered contains that bad stuff BPA in it. I will have to investigate.

We hate this rice cooker. It makes a huge mess every time we use it and the rice is sticky almost every time.
